Growing new cartilage: study tests using your own cells to fix knee damage
NCT ID NCT02539069
Summary
This study tested a treatment called CHONDRON for repairing damaged knee cartilage. Doctors took a small sample of a patient's own cartilage cells, grew more of them in a lab, and then transplanted them back into the knee during a minor surgery. The main goal was to see if this reduced knee pain and improved function over nearly two years of follow-up.
